High Schools in Moosabec Central School District

Summary:

Moosabec Central School District is home to a single high school, Jonesport-Beals High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance and rankings have been inconsistent, with the school's statewide rank fluctuating between 42 out of 123 Maine high schools in 2022-2023 and 108 out of 114 in 2018-2019. While the school's 2023-2024 ranking of 101 out of 121 schools and 1-star rating suggest room for improvement, its 87.8% four-year graduation rate is a positive indicator.

Academically, Jonesport-Beals High School faces challenges, with only 55% of students proficient or better in MEA/English Language Arts, compared to the Maine state average of 65.43%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which can negatively impact student learning and outcomes. Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as over 50% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite these challenges, Jonesport-Beals High School benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 7.2, which could potentially provide more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's overall performance and rankings suggest that further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the issues and improve the school's outcomes for the benefit of the Moosabec Central School District community.
